I got this printer HP Deskjest 1000 J110a and I have been trying to download their program for Linux Ubuntu 10.10 but I can't figure out what to do next.I am totally new to this. I have a ASUS Eee PC laptop and I don't have Windows because the trial ran out.
View 4 RepliesAt the moment im using a live linux distribution and running a program to test the security of my website. Unfortunatly this program is running from, and seems to fill up rootfs, at which point the program crashes and dissapears.
Is there any way to force a program to run totally from RAM, which i would presume would automatically use a swap file because of the in built memory management in linux, of which is a 30GB partiton.
I know i could just install the distribution to the partition instead, however it has peaqued my interest in just how much control linux has over the programs running on it.
So the question is - Is it possible to run a program totally from RAM, forcing all inputs/outputs to be re-directed to/from RAM to keep the rootfs clear whilst the application does what it needs to?
I have created a simple download schedular with source-code give below :
---------------------record_strokes.sh-------------------
touch /home/student/packs/lynx/logfile

I have a Samsung ML-2525w, and have loaded the unified driver several times previously but long enough ago that I can't remember the correct command to install it. This is what I remember, in terminal viewer:
sudo ?(enter login)(then drag and drop the autorun file into the terminal viewer to install) I am going nuts trying to find the instructions again.
I have my system connected to a sky wifi box (LAN connection) for my broadband, I also have about 4 tenants connected too, via wireless.
I was wondering if there were a program that i could run on my system that could monitor, or that i could use that would tell me how much data each person is using/downloading and what websites they were viewing etc..
Our company had a vendor doing some data transformation work for us that we recently decided to take in house. They were good enough to transfer all their processes to a pc we gave them and it's running great. Only thing is that its a linux OS and I have no idea how to do anything other than what to click on to run programs.
Its OS version 2.6.34.8-68.fc13.i686.PAE. KDE SC version:4.5.5
I know that at the bottom left where there would be a windows button on a Windows PC there is a blue K button. That's ALL I know.
First thing I'd like to know is how to totally back up this system OS and all so that if something happens I can load it onto another PC. I'm pretty panicked because it IS an old pc it's on. Then, I'd like to know what is this exactly and how can I learn what I have here
I want to start totally from scratch on Linux server I installed the other day. No dual boot, no personal files, etc... on it.
Fdisk -l shows the following:
Disk /dev/sda: 320g
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylanders
units = cylanders of 16065 *512 = 822...bytes
[code]....
All the info I have found has multiple steps, but in my situation is there just 1 easy command to do this? If not, can I just reinstall from CD and it will reformat and let me customize more? If I have to use the several steps to reformat, can you explicitly type out exact commands for me? I am completely new, have to learn all this, and all the referece books/materials kind of scatter the info around.
In a performance test, I want to bypass the influence of cache of linux system (including page cache/inode cache and so on). I have tried O_DIRECT flag, but it's turned out that direct I/O is still "enjoy" the effect of some cache.Is there a thorough way to close the effect of system cache?

I went to Sony Ericsson's site to check something on my account and loud music suddenly started blaring out so I pressed the Fn button and End which muted it. However, I forgot to take it off before closing down for the night and as of Tuesday morning I have no sound. Would me leaving mute on all night have screwed something up or has it just suddenly gone? I am so upset as I cannot afford to get another laptop as not working and this is my last resort since my original Compaq one died.
I appreciate any "Helpful" solutions. Not in techy but layman's terms please as I won't understand. Also if you do reply, I am in the UK and also don't get notifications so I am not being rude if I can't get back to you quickly. I will be going to bed now.
I have an acer aspire one with Linpus Lite. Copied a document into OO yesterday and got a message OO had crashed. OO window wouldn't close etc. Emails and internet still worked ok. When closing down, emails & internet closed ok. Tried Ctrl, Alt Del to close the crashed OO file - didn't work. Eventually turned machine off at main switch. Today when turning machine on, goes past the screen advertising Acer Aspire one, but then nothing else happens, no icons. Black screen with a cross as a cursor. Cross is a diagonal cross, thicker than an ordinary x. Nothing like I have ever seen before.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a centos5.3 server. I want to configure it as transparent squid proxy server. Internet is connected to eth0(192.168.0.100) and lan is connected to eth1(192.168.200.0/24) and eth1 ip is 192.168.200.1 .
I have configured it as dhcp,squid and its working fine.
Now I want to configure it as a transparent,so that no one has to manually configure in browser.
I just added a line
Code:
http_port 3128 transparent
to make it transparent.
Now while adding nat rules,
Quote:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128
code....
Internet is totally blocked on eth1. And after stopping the firewall the internet comes.
I have an Acer Aspire 6930g with an nVidia GeForce 9300m GS which has a broken screen. I have been using an external monitor for some time using Linux Mint, without issue.
I initially set this up with great difficulty using the small parts of the screen that would still display an image at the time. Now, however the screen is totally dead, I have since disconnected the laptop monitor in order to not cause issues.
The issue I am currently having is trying to use live distros.
I'll give you example: I boot ubuntu 9.10 32bit and it gets to the initial boot menu. I choose "Try Ubuntu..." It shows the loading screen. Screen goes blank when going to desktop
I tried Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a terminal, but the screen stays blank. The same thing happens with both Knoppix and Backtrack 4 as well. The display goes blank upon switching to the desktop.
I'm running windows vista right now on my laptop and I can't boot into ubuntu, I tried downloading that one program from the disc to assist in helping it run from boot, but it still goes right to vista. I don't know what to do.

Would you know of a free Windows-based disc burning software that allows the disk to be left after use, i.e. allows writing on it again.
I am, as the forum title suggests, new to linux and to programming and having trouble figuring out how to do this.I have a very large XML file with a lot of information in it. I'm trying to get a single tag out of the file, each of these tags contains a single web link and I want to download the file at every single one of those links. I really don't know how to do this.My thought, though its probably not the most efficient or correct way, was to use VIM to search the document and somehow extract all of this one particular tag and then use wget on the links.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHave you had to download drivers for GNU/Linux and install them when some device didn't work? Except nVidia/ATi drivers I mean. Just like in Windows. Or the only driver you can download for GNU/Linux is a driver for videocard and all other are in always in the system?

There are some sites which allow you to listen the mp3 song like [url]
I have found the most simple way to get mp3 file
(1)Sometimes you get address ending with .mp3 so just copy the whole URI and use in terminal wget "PasteWhatYouCopied"
(2)But in the link I have mentioned there is no mp3 link in address bar.
Here I found out in totem-plugin-viewer(that is the thing that plays your file in browser).Just Click the button next to sound and select copy
In example taken above it is [url]
And use just like before wget "PasteWhatYouCopied" -O output.wma
Also notice that you have the song as output.wma in current folder of terminal.
(3)If there is a video on webpage then either wait for it to get completely downloaded & get it from /tmp.Remember don't close the page till video gets downloaded completely & you copied it from /tmp then only close that tab.
(4)There is a firefox addon 'unplug' which can help for flv because after sending file to download via unplug you can close that tab.

I plugged in a second monitor to my new Meerkat installation and xorg stopped working.
When I took the monitor away it still wouldn't work, so I tried entering with safe graphics and that wouldn't work.
I uninstalled xorg and reinstalled and ran the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but still no luck.
I have tried reverting the vesa driver but it still won't work. The screen flashes like it's trying but just gives up.
I don't know what to do now except reinstall the partition.
The file system on my computer has become completely confused and out of sync. When I go into "documents," for example, I get the MPlayer for audio/video! I go into "home file" and get an audio player for streaming FM!Not every file is out of sync, but many are.I believe this situation started a few weeks ago when I decided to install MPlayer. I like MPlayer and especially its flexibility with regard to playing several kinds of media. I downloaded MPlayer and tried to make it my "default" player; I think that may have been the problem. Ever since then my files have been doing weird things and I'm unable to retrieve things (like documents) that I really need. Any suggestions as to how I can begin to clean up this mess
View 9 Replies View RelatedI need to download the Kernel sources add a few lines and then recompile and install the new files. I found the following lines that are suppose to do it on nVidia's forums:
Code:
# Install Kernel Sources
sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image-2.6.24-17-rt
sudo apt-get source linux-image-2.6.24-17-rt[code]........
what the Kernel Module Source packages are called?... This guide I am trying to follow is obviously dated but it is the only solid lead I have been able to find towards making my ram work...This is the original thread on the NVNEWs boards: Unable to install Nvidia driver on 9500M + Ubuntu - Page 2 - nV News Forums,Read through that thread I linked to the NVidia forums for a detailed run down of what is wrong.
The semi short version: There is some sort of issue with the NVidia driver on the G1Sn (and several other Asus Models) and the way the Linux Kernel address memory, the issue results in not being able to use more than 2 Gigs of ram with the Nivida drivers. There is a patch (again check the nvidia forum link) that people said they had applied to fix this issue. At this point I am seriously considering Vista again if I can't get this working I love Ubuntu but I hate having my hardware limited by my software...where to download the files I need to recompile in the Kernel with the patch I need for my ram to work?
I tried posting there but it seems like the thread is long dead.. how I can download the needed files and maybe how I add these lines to it?I also started a thread on the ubuntu forums here: [ubuntu] Downloading Current Kernel Sources.
yesterday i downloaded source of my virtual linux kernel and tried to compile it. It compiled indeed but could not boot from the new kernel. Then today i decided to re-downloading after removing the folder where source files are located but it said "linux source is already the newest version"
I use the command below: sudo apt-get install linux-source What should i do to be able to re-download the source.
I need to download some very large files (circa 75 GB) from a remote server via SFTP. I've been using SFTP via the command line on my Linux netbook. Around halfway through, the transfer stops and says "stalled." Can anybody recommend a reliable way to download these files?
